Supporting Your Recovery and Well-Being
At Dr. Farah’s Maternity and Infertility Center, we understand that the postnatal period is a crucial time for both mother and baby. Our comprehensive postnatal care services are designed to support your recovery and ensure the health and well-being of your newborn. The postnatal period is generally divided into three stages: acute, subacute, and delayed.
Acute Phase (First 24 Hours)
- Immediate Recovery: Right after childbirth, we focus on your immediate recovery. This includes monitoring vital signs, managing pain, and ensuring that any complications are promptly addressed.
- Initial Baby Care: Your baby will receive essential care, including Apgar scoring, initial health assessments, and breastfeeding support.
- Emotional Support: We provide emotional support to help you adjust to the immediate changes and challenges of motherhood.
Subacute Phase (24 Hours to 6 Weeks)
- Physical Recovery: During this phase, we monitor your physical recovery, including the healing of any incisions or tears, managing postpartum bleeding, and addressing issues like breast engorgement.
- Follow-Up Visits: Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to check on your recovery and your baby’s development. These visits include physical exams, weight checks, and vaccinations for your baby.
- Nutritional Guidance: We offer dietary advice to help you regain strength and ensure you are getting the necessary nutrients.
- Mental Health Support: We provide support for mental health, addressing common issues such as postpartum depression and anxiety.
Delayed Phase (6 Weeks to 6 Months)
